«When I got up, there were bodies all around me. I was scared. I stood up and ran. There were pieces of the plane all around me,» the 40-year-old also said, according to Reuters. «Someone grabbed hold of me and put me in an ambulance and brought me to the hospital.»
The Hindustan Times posted an image of a boarding pass matching the man’s name and seat number, with a stamp indicating a Thursday departure from Ahmedabad.
Chaudhary told Reuters, «Approximately 294 have died» and «This includes some students as the plane crashed on the building where they were staying.»
The Associated Press also reported that at least one person survived the crash, citing a doctor at a hospital who spoke to the Press Trust of India. However, it added that it could not independently verify the information.

Our efforts now are focused entirely on the needs of all those affected, their families and loved ones,» the airline said. «A team of caregivers from Air India is now in Ahmedabad to provide additional support. Air India is giving its full cooperation to the authorities investigating this incident.»
Local media showed smoke billowing from the crash site near the airport in northwestern India. The plane issued a «mayday» call to air traffic control before plunging out of the sky, Reuters reported.
«With profound sorrow I confirm that Air India Flight 171 operating Ahmedabad London Gatwick was involved in a tragic accident today.

Israel strikes slain Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s underground military bunker

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on Friday announced that it had dismantled former Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s underground bunker in Tehran.
«The underground compound was created by the regime as a base for advancing military activities and its extremist ideologies against the State of Israel and the Western world,» the IDF said. «It spanned multiple streets in the heart of Tehran and contained numerous entrances and meeting rooms for senior members of the Iranian terrorist regime.»
Israel later released an illustrated video which showed a number of entry points throughout Tehran with tunnels leading to the underground bunker.

The fortified compound was directly under where Khamenei and other regime leaders were situated on Saturday morning when almost 50 of them were killed in under 50 seconds during the launch of Operation Epic Fury, a senior Israeli official told Fox News.

The official said that Khamenei spent millions of dollars and a number of years building the bunker, which he did not use on the morning of the strike. Sources familiar with the intelligence say that Khamenei believed no one had the guts to strike him.
The senior Israeli official told Fox News that Khamenei’s confidence was partially thanks to an Israeli-American deception plan that included messaging, signals and public statements by President Donald Trump that suggested nothing immediate was coming. Top IDF commanders even went home on Friday night, hours before the strike, in an attempt to deceive Iranian leadership.

Khamenei was killed on the first day of Operation Epic Fury after ruling the Islamic Republic for more than 30 years. During that time, he oversaw harsh internal crackdowns, including the most recent one in January, which targeted Iranian protesters, as well as international confrontations.

Biden says ‘I’m a h— of a lot smarter than most of you’ to crowd at Jesse Jackson’s funeral

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former President Joe Biden told mourners at Rev. Jesse Jackson’s memorial service Friday that he is «a h— of a lot smarter than most of you,» a pointed remark that stood out during his tribute to the late civil rights leader.
Biden made the comment while recounting how he was mocked as a child for his stutter and how speech impediments are often mistaken for a lack of intelligence.
«If I told you I had a cleft palate or clubfoot, none of you would have laughed,» Biden said. «But it’s OK to laugh at stuttering. … It’s the one place where people think you’re stupid.
«Oh, really? I’m a h— of a lot smarter than most of you,» he added, before quickly pivoting back to his broader point. «But all kidding aside, it makes you feel really small.»

Biden made the remark during a memorial service in Chicago that brought together prominent Democratic leaders and civil rights figures to honor Jackson’s decades-long political influence.
Former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton attended the service along with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Vice President Kamala Harris and Rev. Al Sharpton.
The event was held at the 10,000-seat House of Hope arena, where hundreds gathered to celebrate Jackson’s life and legacy.

Jackson, who died at age 84, rose to prominence as a close associate of Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement. He later founded the Rainbow PUSH Coalition and mounted two Democratic presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988 that expanded Black voter participation and reshaped the party’s electoral coalition.
Throughout the service, speakers praised Jackson’s ability to build political alliances and elevate issues affecting marginalized communities.
Biden, who has frequently spoken about working to overcome his childhood stutter, framed his remarks around resilience and the lasting impact of being ridiculed as a young person.

Later on in his remarks, Biden asserted that «the continent of Africa is going to be the largest continent in the world» to the assembled mourners.
«I remember telling Jesse that I knew I knew a guy, in South Africa,» former President Biden recalled. «I was going to go see name is Nelson Mandela. And, I’m Jesse saying, how are you going? You guys actually see him, by the way? You know, the continent of Africa is going to be the largest continent in the world in terms of population of the year 2050, the largest in the entire world. Watch, man. Watch.»
His «smarter than most of you» line was quickly added to a growing list of out-of-context gaffes for the former president, and social media users weighed in online.
Under one repost of the viral moment from user Libs of TikTok, one commenter wrote, «That’s a strange line to deliver at a memorial service.»
Another quipped, «Never ending comedy from this guy. So happy he’s back in public.»
